CA 2590500

This invention relates to treating or preventing pathogenic infections with an epidermal growth factor (EGF). EGF is capable of inhibiting pathogenic colonization of pathogens in a variety of tissue or cell types. Since pathogenic colonization is essential for pathogenic infection, EGF can be used as an effective preventive and therapeutic agent for pathogenic infections, particularly on mucosal surfaces. A method of increasing weight gain in an animal by administering epidermal growth factor is also described.

L'EGF est capable d'inhiber la colonisation pathogène de pathogènes dans une grande variété de types de cellules ou de tissus. Etant donné que la colonisation pathogène est essentielle pour l'infection pathogène, l'EGF peut être utilisé en tant qu'agent préventif et thérapeutique efficace pour les infections pathogènes, notamment sur les surfaces des muqueuses. Un procédé d'augmentation de la prise pondérale chez un animal par l'administration du facteur de croissance épidermique est également décrit.
